Mail Order Tunes...All created Equal?

They are all differant, but you will hear both sides on everyones tune. I got mine done by Solomon at lt1pcmtuning.com and he did a great job and it was at a good price.

The nearest Dyno close to me is 2 hrs away and not that good from what I hear. I need to go down south to LA for a good dyno tune (not the place to find issues)

The only reason i said it was a short cut is because there is a better option, like a dyno tune.. But like i said before, i dont think they are necessarily bad, but there is a better option than that out there aswell, thus i called it a short cut for that reason..

If that what your looking for then I would NOT recommend a mail order tune. You need to have someone there to data log it and check over everything to make sure the engine is running correctly. A mail order tune may get it to run and start but you still dont have any idea if its rich, lean, under/over timed etc... Anytime I startup a brand new setup I always data log it so I know if everything is working right.

It depends on how radical your setup is and how good or experienced your tuner is. There is not a single tuner or shop out there who has 100% success on mai order tunes. Im sure there are a few who can nail most combo's 9 out 10 times. Without any way to data log you wont know either way. Just because it starts and idles doesnt mean its safe. On something with alot of mods I only recommend mail order tunes for checking leaks and loading it on a trailer.

It has never been touched before, stock computer on the car then sent it to frost and all my information, let me just say it drives perfect. Ill do a cold start video its like 27 degrees outside today ha.
